AS OPEN LETTER.
To the Members of the Committee on
River and Harb-ira. of the House of
Representatives:
Gentlemen: It ia bes?n sail to you
through the columns of the Oregoman.
and you have doubtless heard the same
statements from other sources, that
there Is concerted effort on the par:
of Astorians to do Injury to Portlanl
and the whole Columbia basin. Tou
bave been toM that there is a feeling of
antagonism to P.artlanJ centering In
this city and. In furtherance of that
enmity, effort is bins made t J retard
Improvements, made at the govern
ment's expense, on the Columbia river.
Tou have been tolj that it Is not loy
alty to the state and to the Northwest,
tributary to the Columbia and Willam
ette rivers, that prompt the utterances
of the sentiments that Portland believes
to be hostile to that c'.tys interests.
Tnut that it Is a conspiracy on the part
of the Astoria & Columbia River Rail
tray and "town-lot speculators" wh.w
sole purtve is personal gain and the
upbuilding of Astoria at the expense of
the entire s'ate.
Take a map of Oregon. irnilenvn of
the commirte. and -nark the region of
the vast wheat fiel! of the fertile Co
lumbia hasin. Tou rvill notice rhat there

market, mir.us th cost of trnpor:a-'
tlnn and the broker's margin of profit.
The average difference In the charter i
rates to the T'nited Kingdom from Pu
get sound and Portland Is from two
to three and one-half shillings in fivor
of the former ports. This additional
cost of transportation means a corres
pondingly lower price for all wheat
shipped via Portland.
The supremacy of Portland as th
seaport of Oregon has been maintained
through :he efforts of the Union Pacific
rallroal. the channel that his b-en dug
out by the government for deep ."-a I
ships, together w ith the determination t
make Portland a comnvn point of deliv
ery Instead of to a seaboard harbor, ha-i
put millions of dollars Into the !xk

nates, and each dollar has T.en takn
unjustly from the farmer. But you are
not hre to discuss railroad 'tu-sttorj'.
perhaps. Still you ar- herJ to see That
appropriations made from the Federal
treasury are exon led where the m":
good will bo accomplished. Th rha-i-nol

Wherein, gentlemen of the c mxitti-i;,
lies a menace to the vari-de stale !n en

No careful an 1 intelligent raJ-'r of
